Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Complaints about parking vary depending on where students live. If students' lots are near their dorms or they never have to park on the street, there is usually very little to complain about. Others, however, find parking at Muhlenberg to be laborious. Since freshmen are not allowed to bring cars to campus, they do not have to deal with these issues. However, some freshmen can get special permission from Campus Safety if they have a health issue or an off-campus job. Otherwise, upperclassmen need to fill out a registration form and pay a $50 fee. It is a bit pricy, but having a car on campus is worth it. Once your car is registered, you will receive a sticker that correlates to specific lots.

Every student’s story is different, but, essentially, it is easier to park in some lots than others. The students who park in the East lot, for example, can find a spot easily. If Muhlenberg is hosting a huge event, sometimes lots fill up more than usual and finding a spot takes a few minutes longer than usual. But those students who live off campus and have to park on the street consistently have a difficult time. Since Allentown is strict about regular “street cleaning,” students can be fined for parking in certain places; this can especially be a problem in the winter when snow can take up an enormous amount of space.

You Get Used to It, Not Terrible

Freshmen are not allowed to have their cars on campus, but that usually doesn't last all too long. You can park your car on the streets right next to the freshman dorms with no problem. The only thing is you have to be careful in the winter in case there is snow or something. Some people have gotten plowed in. After that, you are able to park your cars in parking lots with a permit for the last 3 years. Once on campus, you can walk from the freshman dorms all the way to the farthest class building in five minutes. Parking isn't that big of a difference. You are never more than 10 minutes away from anything really on campus

Not Terrible, but Definitely Annoying

Parking is certainly limited, but I can always find a spot in the lot outside of my dorm. However, I have one of the bigger parking lots, and I know at least two of the dorms' residents have some serious issues finding parking. Living in off-campus housing and parking can be different, since Allentown does street cleaning during a good portion of the year and you can get fined for leaving your car on the street overnight. Campus police can also be super annoying about parking and tickets are a pretty common occurrence.

No Need for a Car on This Campus

Parking is not really an issue. The campus is so small, and most of the best places to eat or hang out are just a short walk away. The shuttle system is also very efficient. If you do have a car, you should have no problem finding a spot.

Facts

Getting a Parking Permit

It's relatively easy to get a parking permit. During the first few days of the year, you will see signs listing the dates and times to register and buy a permit. There is no need to apply; everyone who is an upperclassman can get a permit if they fill out the form and pay the $50. Just take your student ID, car registration, and insurance information to Campus Safety in the basement of Prosser. They will give you a colored sticker to put on your car; you are allowed to park in specific lots depending on the color of your sticker. Freshmen are not allowed to bring their cars to the College.
